My Ideal Client

With a diverse cultural and career background, broad life experiences, and extensive education, I have had the privilege to connect and effectively support adults from different walks of life facing a wide range of concerns (listed below), with a specialized focus on breaking free and healing from trauma. Our focus will be on achieving profound, lasting change, where instead of over-relying on coping skills, you can find peace within and navigate your life journey with love and compassion.

My Background

My journey to becoming a therapist has been deeply shaped by my own transformative experiences as a client. With an M.D. and engineering degree, I navigated various careers while battling worsening anxiety and depression until a wise and compassionate counselor helped me understand the impact of my childhood traumas, accept my true feelings and needs, and stop living for others. Since then, as a therapist, I have had the honor to offer the same support and guidance to others, helping them discover and embrace their true selves, break free and heal from trauma, and experience a life that is no longer about surviving but living authentically.

My Approach to Helping

My practice draws from a variety of approaches—such as person-centered, psychodynamic, neuroscience, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive modalities—but at the heart of my work is a deep and sincere respect for your personal journey. I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate the distinct complexities and challenges of your life. Together, we will explore your deepest thoughts and feelings to foster a greater understanding of yourself within your unique circumstances. We will cultivate self-compassion and acceptance, learning to see and love yourself even amidst difficult challenges and suffering. We will work to gradually break free from the shackles of past wounds and traumas and reclaim what they have painfully stolen from you, finding peace and becoming whole. This journey toward self-discovery, freedom, and wholeness is often not an easy one, but I'm here to support and guide you every step of the way.
